Noted. I appreciate all info and tutelage (sp?).
No stowage for Mr. Ed and the Budweiser horses there!
It’s spelled right.
Seriously, we have to look at leftists with a scientific eye. They are not normal. And that is an understatement.
Wow, what happened there?
Sir Hugh Caisson was not a registered ship designer!
Is that a submarine with a windshield?
Someone who thought riding in an uggggleee ship was the height of vessel design I guess!
Whoever did that redesign must have hated clean lines.
Even worse when it is in color...
The Serengeti stealth ship.
Oddly enough, no.
It is a tech testbed for the ddx class.
A.k.a. Zumwalt.
Somebody was smoking something goooodddd! :)
The Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator (AESD), Sea Jet,[1] funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), is a 133-foot vessel located at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Acoustic Research Detachment in Bayview, Idaho. Sea Jet was operated on Lake Pend Oreille, where it was used for test and demonstration of various technologies. Among the first technologies tested was an underwater discharge water jet from Rolls-Royce Naval Marine, Inc., called AWJ-21, a propulsion concept with the goals of providing increased propulsive efficiency, reduced acoustic signature, and improved maneuverability over previous Destroyer Class combatants.
The Sea Jet demonstrates a few technologies that will be integrated into the Zumwalt class destroyer. Notable among these is the return of the tumblehome hull design.

The Strange Life and Death of the Imperial Battleship Perseviet
Interesting story
The Zumwalt are supposed to be some awesome ships, even rail guns?
That thing is just strange
Last I heard they will mount regular artillery on them as a cost saver being that a railgun is a tech leap they don’t want to bother with at the moment.
Of course, info on that changes often.
So we’ll know for sure once they get done slapping it together.
Class UE2

Jeff Head says early to mid-2020’s for the rail gun

wait, there is no wiki page about the Russian Imperial Battleship Perseviet?
Now, the Russians built some funny looking ships!
Gangut for one.
That is pretty strange
